Fox News has been on a collision course with its own audience since the stolen 2020 election — and you can almost feel the impact coming. The network has made so many dumb bets lately that it’s like watching a busload of trailer park residents get offloaded to play the nickel slots in Reno. All you can do is shake your head as you think: I know they’re all going bankrupt, and they’re already bankrupt. It’s been perfectly obvious for years now that Rupert Murdoch and his feckless sons turned against President Trump and actually helped Joe Biden — which is not just unforgivable. It’s unsustainable.

IMHO, given the false dichotomy established for cable news, and the blatant bias at CNN and MSNBC, Fox seems tame. But the passivity is going away, and will more so as people can't afford to buy groceries while watching Fox cheer Democrats and Republicans sending money to Ukraine for example. That isn't something that can get papered over.
So far, Rush's replacements --Buck Sexton & Clay Travis--have generally satisfied my conservative cravings. To date, 3 days in, NO mentions of 2000 Mules.
Outspoken Clay remains an employee of Fox and appears on their TV often. Both hosts have proudly proclaimed 'no one censors them'.
They are risking their creditability and futures unless we hear about 2000 mules. It's time to stand, guys.
See Anything significant?
Approx 298,000,000 people didn’t watch any of it.
I haven’t watched Fox News in ages.
Liberals still screech about us watching Fox News, but they don’t realize that Fox has pretty much joined their side.
I gave up on Fox News long long ago... Broadcast news in general is absolutely useless, at least in the US....
About the only “news” channels that actually report anything close to reality are the financial news networks.
Everything else is yellow journalism at its finest, and that about being as nice as I can be for it all.
If you want to watch opinion turn on CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, NBC or CBS “news”... If you actually want news.... good luck.
That is not the issue, is it? Do those folks watch any cable news???
DD should start his own news network
Anyone who thinks it is a good idea to advocate “taxing the poor” in an election year is not in line for the presidency any time soon.
All 3 stay afloat because they are part of basic cable.
If you have cable (or sat or even YouTube tv I think) you are supporting them with your monthly bill.
I think much the same can be said for Newsmax (which I no longer watch, save for Greg Kelly)
Real America’s Voice is covering it
I always have on The Five and Tucker. The rest not so much.
This may be wishful thinking. FoxNews has higher ratings than it did at this time last year. Whatever post-election/Inauguration loss it suffered seems to have dissipated.
Agree, but I think the disaster that befalls Faux will be a lot bigger than just them.
It looks like those Fox shows get around 3 million viewers at best tuning in, so if you figure the combined competition is another 7 million - that’s a total of 10 million.
So, only 3% of the population watches the evening news? Is that far off?
I was thinking like you were. Yep, 99% did not see anything on Fox...that said.I really don’t care who watches. People love to watch disasters unfold, I will spend my time elsewhere!
